It’s just my concern that when any act is passed that pertains to the town planning and any community planning and development, if it refers to land, then I would like to know that the Aboriginal governments that have not settled land claims yet, as Ms. Chamberlin said, Akaitcho, that they be afforded the full potential for obtaining lands under their land claim within the municipal boundaries and those were referring to those pieces of land as Indian Affairs branch land. But I’m aware that over a period of the last several years or even a few decades, that those lands have slowly transferred from the federal government to the territorial government, and so that the Minister said he would look into it, I am satisfied with that but I just wanted to provide more context to my questions.
